3.5.2.3. Battery Charging Instructions for LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or direct sun for long periods of
time.
• Do not leave the battery on the charger for extended periods of time. Do not
overcharge the battery.
• To start charging Lithium battery, connect the battery cable plug to the charger
and then plug the charger into an electrical outlet. It regularly takes about 2-3
hours to fully charge the lithium battery after one 18 holes game.
• During the charging cycle the LED on the charger will show a red steady light
(or blink red/green light). Once the battery is fully charged, the charger’s
indicator will turn into a steady green light.
• Do never drain it. Give it half charging after your last game of season. Store it in
door, dry and cold nonfrozen area. Don’t put it on concrete or metal surface.
Disconnect from equipment and charger. It will be good for long term till next
golf season.
• Never expose or throw the Lithium battery into open fire. EXTREME FIRE
HAZARD
Recommendations:
Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the
depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count to Lithium battery. The shorter the
discharge (low DoD), the longer the Lithium battery will last. AVOID full discharges and
charge the battery more often between uses. Please always charge the battery after you
play each game.
Recommendations, Maintenance and Storage LiFePO4 Battery
• Fully charge the battery before the first use.
• Do not leave the battery on the charger. Remove it from the charger after charge is
Completed.
• Never keep your battery connected to the grid during prolonged power outages. It
might be irreversibly damaged.
• DO NOT fully discharge the battery by “overplaying” it. It is recommended to
recharge the battery after every 18 holes.
• Do not strike battery terminals with metallic tools since this can contribute to sparks
and cause subsequent explosions.
• Keep the tops of your batteries clean and check that cables are tight. Do not tighten
or remove cables while charging or discharging. Any spark around batteries can
cause a hydrogen explosion inside, and ruin one of the cells, and you.
• How to Store LiFePO4 Battery: It is common for people to store lithium batteries
during the off-season. When storing LiFePO4 batteries, it is important to store them
properly to ensure they do not get damaged and to keep them at peak performance
for many years ahead. Based on the temperature and length of time, here’s a
